Appalachian Trail 2018

Holts House of Hope

Holt’s House of Hope is a Christian ministry in Boca Chica, Dominican Republic that provides refuge, restoration and hope to young men in the local community. Holt’s House of Hope emphasizes relational discipleship, education and character development in their programming, and meets with boys at least 3 times a week.

One of their current projects is developing a learning center that would provide access to learning materials, books, technology resources, language learning software, and other opportunities that do not currently exist in this area. Needs in this area include adding hopefully 2 laptops to the learning center (approx. $400 each), purchasing books from their Amazon wish list (ranging from approx. $5 to $20 each), as well as Rosetta Stone language software (approx $150).

My hope is that I can raise money to fund their Library by bringing attention to my current Appalachian Trail hike. I want to raise $2,189 dollars for this incredible ministry. That’s $1.00 for every mile I will walk. I have been personally impacted by this ministry and I believe completely in the vision and the direction of the 2 people on the ground in the Dominican. Chris and his wife Abby have been hands on with this ministry for almost 2 years now. I hope that we can help them facilitate life change in the boys that they minister to by providing them with access to these resources.

I am working on a way to donate that will specifically direct giving only to the their library needs. Please click on my Holt’s House Library page to see more information.
